Positive, but frustrated to not have my surgery date. Worried about my colleague who is going into surgery for cervical cancer today. Thankful for the verbal support I have received so far especially from my sisters and best friends. I hope they will be able to handle it. I worry about that in a selfish but also concerned way.

I am not so carefree. I worry about many more things. I feel sad for the impact this will have on my loved ones.

I'm alive, I have a caring primary care physician. My sisters have shown such love.

Not having my surgery date.

Not being able to be carefree, and the frustrations of finding specialists to help me.

The loneliness, not having a mate to be there for me now. I have always hated being single, more so now.

After the treatments, I am going to stop putting off things. Tell people I love them more, enjoy each minute more.

I'm working until I have a definite date for the surgery. I am trying to finish necessary work so that people can handle it in case I can't come back before the end of the school year.

I take more time to do cancer research, I enjoy the students much much more.

My principal and the good friends here.

Everyone has their own way of coping. Try to find yours and look forward to the trea
